@notanaddress: "It's all about choices really.  
Choosing to do this is not as bad as choosing not to piss in a bottle,
but it really, fucking really, makes you think he's either being
advised very badly or is one of the dumbest blokes ever to kick a
ball.
Either that or he's a cunt 
I hope to fuck he's given his fee to charity.  It's not like the �70k
a week we're paying him to sit on his fucking arse isn't enough to
tide him over.
I reckon Fergie will be having very strong words.  It wouldn't
surprise me at all if he did a Jaap on him.  (I hope he doesn't
because Rio's still a great player, but this ad makes him and United
look very bad indeed.)

I haven't seen the ad (apart from extremely occasionally, I don't
watch TV).  Can someone provide a precis of what the advertisement
concerns, please?

If you mean the advert where he gets his wall chart and stickers out of the
Sun, it's pathetic. Rio should be putting as much distance between himself
and Euro 2004 as possible. He has a contract as a "columnist" with the
Currant Bun though. You would think he would have more of a sense of
dignity.

He's basically sat lounging on the settee watching TV in England kit
and cap drinking beer, if I remember rightly, I only saw it the once,
and moaning about how he's stuck at home and has got too much time on
his hands while the lads are out in Portugal.
   United went out on a limb to defend him, for which, IMO, he owes us
big time.  It is, after all, 100% his own fault he's john24@example.com.
The reason for his suspension is serious, especially with the effect
it had on our season, and if England do badly, and if Terry is unfit
they may do, you just know the blame will be put on Rio.  I would have
thought a bit of contrition on Rio's part might have been called for.
But no, he chooses to make light of it all and earn a few quid in the
process.
  Fair enough, many, including Rio, have done a lot worse things than
making a stupid advert, and I admire him greatly as a player, but
sometimes the choices he makes are just stupid.

I reckon they're sure to.  And like I say, if Terry doesn't make the
team, or if we get beat, period, then Rio's stupid face is going to
give the hacks and Ingerlund fans someone to take it all out on.
Silly boy.

Indeed so, and in fact readers of Red Issue (the magazine, not the web
site) are likely to have been unsurprised by the drugs test incident
when it did eventually take place (or didn't, as is more to the point).
In addition, I do not think it unlikely that a similar incident may
occur again.
Excellent player although he is, if someone comes in with a substantial
bid for him this summer, selling him may be good business.
